@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I'm occasionally tempted to point out to these folks that I don't own a car, but that would violate my rule about not justifying my life choices to asshole busybodies.

Something just occurred to be about that 'ask a chatbot to draw a clock' thing that is going around this morning. If you search the web for "draw a clock", what you get is a bunch of papers on diagnosing cognitive decline. The clocks the chatbots draw look just like the examples in those papers. This is not because chatbots are demented, it's because those crappy clock drawings in the psych papers are what the chatbots trained on.

@cstross@wandering.shop I'm curious where else collar bombs have appeared. Ones I can think of: - The Reefs of Space, Pohl / Williamson, 1964 - The Faceless Man, Jack Vance, 1971 - Wedlock, 1991 - And, apparently, real life in 2003: https://www.wired.com/story/collar-bomb/

AI image generation is a sort of accidental by-product of AI image recognition. Someone wondered "Hey what if we run this thing in reverse?" And it kinda worked. Same for AI text generation. It's based on running a text recognizer in reverse. In both cases the original project is useful, and the reversed version is harmful. STOP RUNNING AI IN REVERSE
